In a major initiative, the Andhra Pradesh government has decided to provide free, high-quality preparation material and coaching to MPC (Maths, Physics, and Chemistry) and BiPC (Biology, Physics, and Chemistry) students studying in 1,355 state-run junior colleges across the state o equip them for national competitive exams like JEE and NEET.
This is the first time that such a large-scale effort has been made in the state’s education system to help students from economically weaker backgrounds compete at the national level. The free-of-cost study material for Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics students has been prepared by a team of top subject experts from both government and private colleges over six months. To make sure students benefit fully from this support, the government has also extended college timings from 9:30 am-4:00 pm to 9:00 am–5:00 pm.
Every day, students receive at least two dedicated hours of coaching based on this new material. Junior lecturers have been trained to teach the content effectively. Along with free coaching material, the government has also introduced weekly tests, performance reviews, and regular progress tracking —best practices typically found in top private institutions — now being implemented in government colleges.

"This initiative is about giving every student, no matter where they come from, a fair chance to succeed,” said Human Resources Development Minister Nara Lokesh. “We are creating an environment where every child in Andhra Pradesh can dream big and prepare confidently for JEE, NEET, and other national-level exams.”
This bold step will benefit over 1 lakh students in 1,355 Government Junior Colleges and is aimed at bridging the gap between private and government education.
“Our government firmly believes that quality education must be a right, not a privilege. Our mission is simple: to give every student the confidence, tools, and platform to dream big and achieve bigger, Lokesh said.
